Webster police serve double-duty Monday with stabbings

Webster police responded to two apartment stabbings within minutes of each other early Monday, resulting in a shared LifeFlight ride to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

The first report came in just after midnight from the Villas at Edgewater at 200 Water St.

Upon arrival, police found the 20-year-old male victim, Julian Hawkins, with several stab wounds to his back, Webster Lt. Bo Rogers said Monday.

Claudia Deanda, 19, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, in what police believe was a domestic dispute, Rogers said.

A third person had reported the incident to police.

About 10 minutes later, police received a second call from the Harbortree Apartments at 17700 El Camino Real.

Police found a 37-year-old male victim in the parking lot with multiple stab wounds to his right buttocks and upper leg. Rogers did not release the victim’s name because the case is still under investigation.

“It appears that this stabbing was the result of an ongoing feud, and a suspect has been positively identified,” Sgt. Pete Bacon said in a press release.

Rogers said Monday that the victim was involved in a related altercation on May 5 and suffered a cut to the throat, although that injury was apparently not life-threatening.

Police believe Monday’s stabbing was a result of the Cinco de Mayo incident.

Since the LifeFlight landing zone was adjacent to the Harbortree apartments, the second stab victim was transported to the hospital along with the first.

The conditions of both victims were not available Monday, but Rogers said he does not believe either injury was life-threatening.
